Is there anyway public right of way view points for Basford Hall? I know the surrounding areas are fairly remote/rural but are there any places people know of.

Thanking you in advance

Not the actual depot, but traffic in and out can be viewed from various road bridges nearby, especially to the south

Looking at google earth, shows only a couple of bridges, but some distance South of the sidings, nearest of which is on the A500 but looks like pedestrians are not allowed on the A500, next one down is on Weston Lane between the villages of Basford & Weston, i wouldn't recommend viewing from the bridges though some drivers might think your going to jump from them.

It’s common to see spotters sitting in camping chairs near bridges and fences on the approach to Crewe, rain or shine :D
